Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a significant Windows bias. Most code examples are in C#/.NET, and configuration instructions reference Windows-specific technologies (IIS, web.config, MSXML, http.sys, WCF). There is little to no mention of Linux or cross-platform equivalents, and alternative approaches for non-Windows environments are largely absent or relegated to references. This bias may hinder Linux/macOS users from applying the guidance directly.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent examples for Linux-based web servers (e.g., Apache, Nginx) and configuration files (e.g., .htaccess, nginx.conf) for headers like X-Content-Type-Options.
- Provide code samples in other popular languages/frameworks (e.g., Python/Flask, Node.js/Express, Java/Spring) alongside .NET.
- Include instructions for disabling XSLT scripting and XML entity resolution in cross-platform libraries (e.g., lxml, xml.etree in Python, libxml2 in C/C++).
- Reference Linux/macOS tools and patterns for file upload validation, regular expression timeouts, and web application security.
- Clearly indicate which mitigations are Windows-specific and offer alternatives for other platforms.
